The other day a VERY nice gal called me up and asked for an interview with me – Little ol’ KnitBitch and now I’m featured in a blog about knitting ! And mind you not just any blog about knitting but a blog about how to keep your knitting young and fun! Can a guerilla-knitter get a bigger acknowledgement??!!! I think not!

The new piece is now up!!! I’m so VERY pleased with the result, 30+ Christmas Ball, 13 elf socks, 3 elf mittens and a giant heart – all a part of Streetheart’s Street-Advent-Calendar. It took me almost four (yes 4!) weeks of knitting to make it all but it’s worth it. It looks so good and so far it’s been one of my favourite projects to make – although I doubt I’ll be knitting any kind of balls or socks, in ANY size, in the nearest future.

Normally I put up all my pieces by myself, but having so much to put up I decided I would need help, so I brought Auntie S. Beside the fun of being the two of us Auntie S has another advantage, she’s taller than me!
There’s no way I would have been able to reach high enough even though I did bring something to stand on. While we were working it began to snow, it was feezing cold, we had to take turns so one could get stick her hands in her pockets to warm them while the other one would be working.

You’d think that having to tie a gazillion knots when putting up the ornaments would be the worst part… but it wasn’t. The absolutely worst task was to mounting the Tag. My fingers was cold and numb, I could barely thread the needle and there was a so many ends to weave in, I thought my fingers would snap off, I was so glad I’d only made one Tag!
